Engineered for optimal comfort and playability, the Taylor Next Generation Builder’s Edition 324ce upgrades the standard 324ce formula with chamfered edges, a beveled cutaway, and a sleek armrest. This stage-ready acoustic-electric preserves Taylor’s all-hardwood composition with a warm and mellow neotropical mahogany top affixed to sapele back and sides, adding warmth and a touch of treble snap. Taylor’s Scalloped V-Class bracing further imparts this Grand Auditorium with a deeper low-end thump and a more responsive resonance — all while retaining the V-Class bracing’s signature balance and projection. As for acoustic-electric tones, Taylor’s Claria under-saddle pickup system provides plug-and-play performance with handy soundhole-mounted Volume, Tone, and Mid-Contour controls. Finally, the Next Generation Builder's Edition 324ce’s ebony-capped mahogany Standard Carve neck comes equipped with Taylor’s trailblazing Action Control neck system that allows users to optimize the neck’s angle (and thus the action) while also boosting resonance. Luxurious in feel and lush in tone, the Taylor Next Generation Builder’s Edition 324ce is ready to serve as your go-to acoustic-electric standby.
